Milk sales had plummeted because of the pandemic situation, but procurement had gone up significantly in the Malabar and Ernakulam regions, said chairman of the federation P.A. Balan on Sunday. He said the State government directive on Saturday, putting curbs on milk procurement and sale operations as some of the districts went into triple lockdown, would make things more difficult for the dairy sect

Milma chairman P. A. Balan raised the demand in separate letters to Dairy Development Minister K. Raju and Health K. K. Shylaja.
